I use to make this weird drink...but I kinda forgot what it was and how to make it. It use to quench my thirst and full me up though. I think it was ice cream, milk and chocolate...

Different how? As far as milkshakes go, i know most people just use chocolate ice cream, but vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup is a jersey diner thing, called a black& white rather than a chocolate milkshake, they traste amazingly different.
